Metro Parks lists more than 2,000 plant species, specialty collections, and several themed gardens at Inniswood. Its trail details identify four short ADA routes: the 0.1-mile Frog Talk Walk, 0.25-mile Sisters’ Garden Loop, 0.4-mile Brookwood Trail, and 0.6-mile Boardwalk Trail. Surfaces differ by route and include paved path, boardwalk, and gravel. “ADA” is the operator’s label, not a firsthand accessibility assessment.

Pet access is separate from garden access. Dogs and cats are not permitted beyond the parking lot or inside the gardens. Leashed pets may use the exterior 0.6-mile Chipmunk Chatter Trail. Public restrooms are outside Innis House on the main grounds.
